I love Intown Dental Center as my locally-owned source for my dental care. Dr. Kearns and her entire staff are always kind, patient, personable, and caring of me. Brittany has been overwhelmingly helpful in scheduling my dental care, and I trust Dr. Kearns to recommend the solutions that will benefit me in the short and long-term. I always feel confident I have left their office with the right care plan.

My first visit to Intown Dental was the afternoon of December 23rd. I was in a lot of pain & having no luck finding a dentist to see me on such short notice... that's when I found Intown & Dr. Kearns.
Not only did they find time to see me immediately but, they didn't rush or guilt me for my unplanned visit. I'm glad to have found them & I know the care I received made the holidays endurable.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY NEW SMILE!! Dr. Kerns replaced 2 teeth and adjusted my upper denture (another dentist had made). It fits perfectly and is beautiful !! She also made me a lower partial that fits and feels amazing. My Smile is Absolutely Breathtaking!! It does'nt even feel as though there's anything foreign in my mouth and is TOTALLY COMFORTABLE!!! It makes me feel and look 10 years younger!!!!!!! I just Love me some Dr. Kerns. She actually cares, follows up and call you too. If you have ANY dental concerns do yourself a favor and make an appointment to see her, you will be elated that you did

I've been going to another dental practice for years and found them to be clinically fine but insurance-wise/logistically different. Went to Intown dental center and realized that I had a cracked filling and other issues that SHOULD have been identified by the previous practice which really does stink. But I absolutely found them to be extremely professional, amiable and good communicators. My teeth thank them

Dr, Janet Kearns and her entire ALL FEMALE STAFF are beyond imaging FANTASTIC. Calm, extremely knowledgeable, efficient, compassionate, friendly and very current in their practices. Dentistry has changed A LOT since I was a kid. THANK GOD. Nothing stuffy here. I recently had to face one of my worst nightmares. Losing my two front teeth (from extremely bad braces from the 1970s - my roots were dangerously short). But Kearns and her staff made we feel incredibly safe - and dare I saw - made it all seem easy. I'm so happy with the results. Go see Dr. Kearns !

I switched to Intown Dental Center because of its proximity to my home. The front desk staff and hygienists were helpful and professional, but I cannot say the same about my experience. After my cleaning I was told I needed to two fillings, and that two fillings needed to be replaced. I was also told my bite could only be corrected with braces and was encouraged to purchase a $800+ custom nightguard. As others have mentioned, I felt pressured into purchasing unnecessary services, and I now wonder whether my fillings actually needed to be replaced. I experienced sensitivities in my teeth after the

VERY negative experience! Believe all the 1 Star reviews that mention all the following and then some:
- all they care about is money (even though you have insurance??). YOU WILL RECEIVE BILLS AFTER YOUR APPT even after you already paid out of pocket in the office.
- they will throw you in the chair as a new patient and just start hacking at it without asking when your last xrays were. because BTW, it'll cost you $$$ if you had them taken too recently but they aren't going to ask you before hand to ensure $$$ in their pockets.
- they scare you into thinking you need a service when

I used Intown Dental for about 2 years before moving to San Diego, and a bad experience at a new provider really helped shine a light at how great this practice is! And it prompted me to write a review. Appointment scheduling at Intown Dental Center was always a breeze. The location has great parking. The interior amenities, decor and dental equipment are all top notch, modern & "cute" (I recall them having rooms named after Atlanta neighborhoods). The hygenist I had (can't remember) was extremely thorough and built a great rapport/relationship with me. It was fun to go get cleanings

I've been visiting Intown Dental for years now and I always have a great experience. Outside of my regular cleaning appointments, I also requested to have all my 20+ year old metal fillings replaced a few years back and Dr. Kearns delivered exactly that for me. I've never felt like I was being overcharged, and for my cleanings, my insurance covers all but the $17 optional fluoride treatment. Everyone is friendly from the front desk to to the technicians to Dr. Kearns herself, and my appointments always take place on time.

My visit/cleaning with Dr. Kearns group great! They all were very knowledgeable and thorough. I got there early for my visit and was actually seen before my appointment time. The staff is very pleasant. I had tons of questions about getting fillings and other things, and Dr. Kearns was very helpful with offering advice and a treatment plan.

In my first visit they kept me 2 hours without actually doing what they were supposed to do--a regular cleaning--and trying instead to make money through other procedures. The explanations were unclear and evidently oriented by money, not my health. I have seen other dentists in many cities and am a healthy person, this place is not recommendable at all.

We had such a horrific experience with Dr. Kearns' office that I don't even know where to begin. All I want to say is please reconsider going elsewhere. I took my baby sister here to get her braces done and she came out of their office in tears one day. And that was the last day I was going to put her through it. I wished I would have done much more research before selecting Dr. Kearns to work on her.
After switching to a professional orthodontist, my sister is in much better shape. The new orthodontist cut off the wires that were stabbing the back of her mouth - to which Dr. Kearns

The office staff is terrible. I was not happy with my last appointment there including the dentist. I recently found a new dentist who I love and is way more professional! I am pregnant and can't get x-rays done at the moment so I was going to get my x-rays emailed to my new doctor. After notifying intown dental to get my x-rays emailed over I was informed of a $30 fee. There was no notification when I got the x-rays of a fee if I wanted something that I already paid for. Technically I own the X-rays and intown dental is withholding them from me. The office manager is probably one of the rudest

I moved to Atlanta in July and went to Intown for a routine cleaning because they took my fiance's insurance. The dentist told me that I had a progressive infection in my gums that required a "deep cleaning" (an extra few hundred dollars) and four cavities (several hundred more dollars). I asked them to check again, because I couldn't afford that at all, and I'd never had problems like that with my teeth before, but they just repeated themselves and kept trying to get me to finance my dental care through them. They continued to say that I had to accept their treatment plan

My wife and I were patients here for more than two years, but now we will be looking for another dentist. We always had great service from Dr. Kearns and the technicians who worked on us, but I just couldn't deal with their insurance policies any more. After a negative experience after my first visit, the front office and I established a plan for their verifying coverage in advance of services. That worked well until recently, when Dr. Kearns' staff refused to relent on a charge that was not covered by my plan, something they found very unusual. They claimed that this practice of verifying

I've been going to Intown for 18 months
The receptionist, hygienist, and tech are very nice and personable. I've rarely waited to wait more than 5 minutes past my appointment time. Scheduling is very easy, the clinic is very nice and new. Great location too.
Dr Kearns is very knowledgeable and is very good at explaining what's going on... if you ask for an explanation. She has an overly-provocative approach (in other words, recommend the most complex solution) for issues, which I didn't like because I prefer dentists who don't take drilling in my mouth lightly.

I went to Dr. Kearns after my most recent dentist decided to move into pro bono work. Her office was nice, the staff was professional and helpful. They were very eager to understand my insurance and helped verify my coverage. Dr. Kearns was pleasant and responsive.
I left the office with $1000 treatment plan. 5 fillings were recommended - 2 of which I was told were cavities. My last dentist basically sent me away with a clean bill of dental health but we were watching some gum recession that is normal for my age.

I hate the dentist, and this was my first visit in a long time. Everything was clean and modern, with up-to-date equipment. They are paperless. Unlike other dentist visits, I didn't have to wait 30 min - 1hr after my appointment time to see anyone! I was brought back once all my new patient forms were complete online.
The technicians, receptionists, and Dr Kearns were wonderful. They were friendly and made sure you were aware of what they were going to do, why they were doing it, and how much it would hurt your pocket before they even touched you teeth. I was very impressed with the care
